Are you looking for a role where you can really make a difference to the life of a young person?

We are looking for a Residential Support Worker to join our team, working to provide a high-quality service to children and young people within the Looked After system. In this role, you will work as part of a wider team to assess each child and young person's needs, implementing individual care plans/programmes, and providing a level of supervision and support.

The Role

As a Residential Support Worker, you will work as part of a wider team to assess each child and young person's needs, implementing individual care plans/programmes, and providing a level of supervision and support. You will build close relationships with the young people in our home, supporting their links and relationships outside of the home, encouraging them to connect with the communities around them.

This is a challenging but highly rewarding role, and you will be required to maintain appropriate and up to date records on each child/young person, working closely with the wider team and providing feedback to management where necessary for the young person's wellbeing.

Who we are looking for

The role requires the ability to work with challenging situations and behaviours displayed by young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties. The right candidate will be caring, compassionate and committed to the service, with the skills to assess each young person’s needs and implement individual care plans.

We operate within a shift system: this includes days, evenings, overnight sleepovers, and weekends, so candidates will need to work within this. The role requires flexibility, good communication both verbally and written, and above all the capability to be a great team player. If this is the kind of rewarding career move you are looking for, please apply today!

For an informal discussion about this role, please contact cheryl.athersmith@cumbria.gov.uk

This role requires an enhanced DBS check with a Children’s Barred List check. Please note this role involves working in regulated activity with Children.

We are currently operating virtual interviews. This will preferably be undertaken using the Microsoft Teams software, which is currently free for new users, however if there are any issues with accessing this technology, we are happy to discuss alternative arrangements prior to the interviews.

Options will be discussed with candidates once they have been invited to the interview stage of the process, and if you have any concerns or adjustments are needed, we are happy to discuss.
